Just a thought - I suppose you wanted to post with a throwaway account, but claiming to be the inventor of the patent gives your identity away

Sure, but this way his main account is not linked to his name.

Otoh, he could have just written "I've found this patent" and nobody would have known he was the author.

But no one would know the author was referencing his own patent and thus knowledgable about the subject if one wanted to conversate on it

It's still terrible opsec. Of course, as always, it depends on the threat model. Still, linkage and contamination are deadly - why give up more information than absolutely necessary for your adversar[y|ies] to use against you in the future. All it takes is one mistake or a few 'almost mistakes'.
